AquaLight cement boards represent a new generation of dry construction materials, engineered using advanced technology and a well-balanced composition of Portland cement, lightweight aggregates, and reinforcing fibers. These boards are designed to offer high durability, optimal weight, and exceptional water-resistant properties. The fiberglass mesh layers on both sides of the board enhance its structural integrity and strength, making AquaLight an ideal solution for use in humid environments and harsh climate conditions.
AquaLight cement boards are made up of three primary components:
Portland Cement: A strong binding material that provides structural cohesion and durability.
Lightweight Aggregates: These reduce the specific weight of the boards, making them easier to handle and install.
Fiberglass Mesh Reinforcement: Placed on both sides of the board, this mesh enhances structural strength and prevents cracking or breakage.
Based on the technical specifications provided:
Standard Dimensions: 2400 × 1200 mm
Available Thicknesses: 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm
Specific Density: 900 kg/m³
Flexural Strength: ≥ 6.2 MPa
Fire Resistance: Class A1 according to EN13501-1
Water and Vapor Resistance: Excellent performance as per EN12467
Acoustic Insulation: Sound transmission reduction up to 41 dB
Non-Toxic: Free from asbestos and formaldehyde
Moisture Resistance
One of the biggest challenges in construction—especially in humid regions or wet environments like bathrooms—is dealing with moisture and water vapor. AquaLight’s water- and vapor-resistant composition ensures long-term protection and prevents damage caused by humidity.
Lightweight and Easy to Handle
Thanks to its low weight, AquaLight boards are easy to transport and install. This reduces worker fatigue, lowers labor costs, and minimizes risks associated with handling heavy materials.
Fire Resistance
AquaLight is classified as Class A1 in fire safety tests, meaning it does not contribute to fire propagation, does not emit toxic smoke, and provides excellent fire resistance.
Acoustic Insulation
With a sound reduction capability of up to 41 dB, AquaLight is ideal for enhancing privacy and comfort in interior spaces such as offices, conference rooms, bedrooms, and other sound-sensitive environments.
Mold, Bacteria, and Fungi Resistant
Reinforced with fiberglass mesh and designed with a non-porous structure, AquaLight effectively prevents the growth of mold, bacteria, and fungi—making it a hygienic choice for sensitive areas.
Environmentally Friendly
Free from harmful substances like asbestos and formaldehyde, AquaLight is recyclable and non-toxic, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly material for green building practices.
| Feature | AquaLight | Traditional Materials (e.g., Brick, Conventional Cement) |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavy |
| Moisture Resistance | Very High | Low to Moderate |
| Installation Speed | Fast | Slow |
| Acoustic Insulation | High (41 dB) | Average |
| Fire Resistance | Class A1 | Typically Lower |
| Durability | Long-lasting and Resistant | Vulnerable in Humid Conditions |
| Environmental Compatibility | Non-toxic, Asbestos-free | Often Contains Harmful Substances |
Metal or Wooden Framework
First, a framework made of metal or wood is constructed according to the architectural plan. This forms the base for installing the boards.
Cutting the Boards
AquaLight boards are cut to the desired size using specialized saws equipped with diamond blades to ensure clean and precise edges.
Mounting the Boards on the Framework
The boards are fixed to the substructure using corrosion-resistant screws. Proper spacing and alignment must be maintained to ensure structural stability.
Joint Sealing
Fiberglass mesh tape and special waterproof putty are applied at joints and screw points to create a smooth, uniform surface ready for finishing.
Final Coating (Optional)
The surface can be finished with waterproof paints, tiles, or decorative cladding based on the design requirements.
Always wear protective masks and safety goggles when cutting the boards to avoid inhalation of dust or contact with eyes.
Avoid improper handling or transportation that may cause cracks or breakage.
Store the boards in a dry area, away from direct exposure to moisture or ground contact.
AquaLight boards are manufactured in compliance with the following international standards:
EN12467 – for density, dimensions, flexural strength, and water resistance
EN13501-1:2013 – fire resistance classification
EN ISO 12572 – water vapor transmission
EN12467 Category A (100 freeze-thaw cycles) – durability in harsh weather conditions
AquaLight cement boards are packed in pallets of 65 sheets each. This packaging protects the boards during storage and transportation while allowing for easier handling on-site.
AquaLight cement boards represent a smart, modern, and cost-effective solution for dry construction systems. With their superior technical and performance properties, they serve as an ideal alternative to traditional materials in a wide range of building applications.
Thanks to their engineered composition, international certifications, excellent moisture, fire, and sound resistance, and aesthetic finish, AquaLight boards are a top choice for architects, engineers, and professional builders seeking quality, durability, and efficiency in construction.
